When my dad toured in '91, I think my first gig properly was the Tokyo Dome, 50,000 people indoors. That was pretty scary. I was 12, or 13.

More quotes by Dhani Harrison
I did everything I could to not be a musician.
Dhani Harrison
I don't ever use my name for anything in terms of getting the music heard.
Dhani Harrison
I love getting into a studio with a bunch of friends. When the day's done, we've made something. We recognize that we're from different walks of the music industry, and there's no reason we shouldn't be collaborating. That's what I'm trying to create with thenewno2 - a sense of community.
Dhani Harrison
I was always brutally teased for being George Harrison's son. That was from the age of about four or five, before I even knew who he was. And for seven years people would follow me about school singing 'Yellow Submarine.' I still can't listen to that song to this day.
Dhani Harrison
I was very empty after my father passed away. It was an emotional time, as it would be for anyone, but to be in the studio every day was kind of cathartic and healing and it just seemed very natural to continue.
Dhani Harrison
I suddenly realized that in order to do what I wanted to do, I had to become that which I hated - which is the head of a record company or a digital media conglomerate - and just do whatever you want.

I could never just play in a pub in front of four people because I would have had all the press turn up. That way, you don't get to build up naturally. It makes the work feel unnatural, and puts a lot of unnatural pressure on you.
Dhani Harrison
Playing music has always felt very natural. You know, you do try to do other things, and you do learn lessons that way, but, eventually - well... if your dad is a plumber, you become a plumber. It's the family business, and I felt like I was taking over the family business.

Live a Lie' is inspired by recent combinations found in dubstep.
Dhani Harrison
I sometimes listen to music I made and find it to be something I wouldn't want to buy from a store, if there was a store. When it's like that, you have to make what you want to hear.
Dhani Harrison
Someone recently played me 'Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell' by Das Racist. That should be my theme song.
Dhani Harrison
You can' t help being a musician because you've grown up with music, yet being one means being compared to your dad and being slated for it. But I really don't have the ambitions of most people going into the industry.
Dhani Harrison
You don't have to burn books, you don't have to rebel against teachers to rebel to rebel is to truly own your own self.
Dhani Harrison
I was an only child. I hung out with my parents.
Dhani Harrison
My dad used to say to me, 'You look more like me than I do.'
Dhani Harrison
One interviewer asked me: 'How do you feel that you've betrayed your father?' That wasn't really very cool.
Dhani Harrison
My dad was my hero, my best friend.
Dhani Harrison
My job description is... being enthusiastic.
Dhani Harrison
I don't really plan to be a pop star I just want to be able to make music without the whole My Dad thing hanging over me, which everyone in my position goes through.

Websites are kind of useless. There's so much great web content and design out there, but the ways in which they are being experienced are not being maximized.
